Good morning Scottie. Different body styles as my opinion is just that, an opinion by me and should they tickle your fancy so be it and go for it.
In regards to added contributions to the LR3 & 4 forum I already have designed and drawn up plans for making the front crossover pipe out of aluminum. Machining with lathe, milling machine as well Tig welding the parts together can be done by my personal equipment in my shop. Haven't started on the rear crossover I haven't received a failed rear like the front example. This just another challenge to me like the 95 D1 purchase back in 1-2000. Took 5 years to locate a 95 with 5 spd as less than 2% sold in the USA (94, 95, yuck 96 OB2) now in 5 door. Really wanted a 87 D1 in 3 door like I saw in Toronto Canada after a joy ride from Calif. allowing me seat time flying. Too big of a hassle bring one into Calif. ended that idea. Sure they had several faults in 95 all corrected except the ABS control which was a death trap feature, remove fuse no problem.
As my Top Fuel dragster owner and friend told me, 'yup you got that right a challenge with that 95 LR purchase". He knew I wouldn't leave it alone until it was modified to my planned expectations. Valve guides OEM were crap, example upgrade. It hauls a$$ plus also corners vs up on it's lid after a demo ride years ago. ***** on that one as a passenger.
BTW i'll still proceed with this cross over piping project when I have "extra time" project number 1,383 on things to fab, repair and do list as I like challenges especially showing improvement results. Already made a custom slide hammer for removing LR4 injectors, have a HP pump "borrowed" from the aviation field for a flushing, testing spray patterns, flow volume matching injector sets project build. Already built a tester for the LP Bosch injectors years ago.
With that project I was accused of "PLAPLAGIARISM" after posting pictures of the injector cleaner a flow pattern and balance checking project resulting in 8 injectors flowing within 0.0075% (.75%). Bosch 4 hole sure beat Lucas single hole 80's design dribble injectors. I also milled out an intake extension 1 1/2" tick aluminum allowing a lot lower rpm pulling ability without hindering top end rpm's of the rev limiter at 5,900 rpm's.
HE WHO MAKES NO MISTAKES DOES NOTHING.
I still can't leave my friend stranded with is LR4 hence the aluminum crossover pipes project challenge for his LR4 but not on open forum the machining, Tig welding with finished product photos process.
Thanks Scottie you made my decision avoiding the process of photos then postings of this LR4 crossover project. All LR4 replies gone silent. .....~~=o&o>......
Name your be price for the AK crossover.
I'm in.
